For Ender to be a "Third" means that he is literally the third child in his family, an anomaly since in this world parents are only allowed two children, "It was the governments idea, they were the ones who authorized it" (5). An a consequence his family feels differently about Ender. It does not say how his parents feel, but they were given permission to have a third child which means their is something special about them. His older sister, Valentine spoils him and this is counter to how his brother Peter treats him. Peter, refers to him as a "bastard" (2) and mistreats him. His classmates also treat him badly, once his monitor is off they take advantage and try to gang up on him, Ender thinks to himself "this would not have a happy ending" (6) before he beats Stilson up to prove himself. After these events Ender feels that he is someone other than himself and he is unhappy with being a "Third" because of the negative connotations and expectations it brings.

3.5 - This answers all parts of the question and it also is in complete sentences. It refers to parts of the text.

For Ender to be born a "Third" it means he is the third child born which is rare because the government does not usually allow for parents to have more than two kids. It seems as if Ender feels special in a way. It is positive for his parents because they were allowed to have another child and not one of them was taken away. It is also positive for her sister because she likes having a younger brother and she loves him. It is negative for his brother and classmates because they are jealous of him and they also feel like he is better than them.

2.5 - This does not answer all parts of the question. It is written in complete sentences but they do not flow together.

To be a third means the third in a family of child geniuses.It doesn't talk about what his parents think.His brother hates him because he has had the monitor longer than him and they don't get along.His sister Valentine loves him and she is always by his side.His classmates bully him but at the same time he's protected by the monitor because they can see what he sees

2 - This is too short and does not answer the question completely. It needs more information and also more details.

For Ender to be born the third, its hard for him because he gets teased alot by his classmates, and his brother, Peter. Its a possitive effect because his parents and his sister, Valentine love him alot.
